At the elementary school Milka Šobar – Nataša we are trying to keep up  with new learning strategies without limitations, we are establishing an open learning environment for independent learning, planning it responsibly,  looking for any technological environment that would best suit our specific group of students.
Recently, we decided to buy a 3D printer, which offers students additional opportunities for cognitive development, orientation and design skills for the purpose of carrying out their ideas, for entertainment…
The printing of unique, innovative products and learning accessories will help our students to get to know a whole new dimension of classroom creativity, but certainly it will also increase their work motivation and their interest in modeling and design.
In addition to the 3D printer the school also purchased a 3D scanner, which will further enrichen the school work. Using the 3D scanner a geometrical body or bodies can be transferred into a computer program.
Already in the first 14 days we got well acquainted with the 3D printer and 3D scanner and realized they offer many opportunities for students’ development. Thus, we have printed numerous pendants, a piano, toy cars, small plastic parts…
The purchase of the 3D printer and 3D reader enabled Krka Pharmaceuticals, d. d. Novo mesto and Tilia, d. d. Novo mesto, for which we thank them. Both have recognized the technological progress  schools lack to support the development of pupils’ responsibilities  for their own learning.

On Wednesday, 22^nd of June 2016, teachers and students played soccer together. In the team teachers played: Ajda, head teacher, Nejc, Robi, Peter and Marko.

Matjaž,  Bogdan, Erik, Fabijan , Robi, David, Gordan, Mihael and Matej have soon evened the score. In the second half, the head teacher joined the student team, put them in the suitable positions and lead them out of the defense. Suddenly they became a tougher opponent, but the teachers managed to keep the lead and won. The whole school was watching the game and cheering for its team.

On Wednesday, the 21st June, strudents, teachers and the school’s staff socialized  for the afternoon in the highly anticipated picnic.

At 5 pm, the students prepared a short cultural program in the school hall, and then we were all invited by the head teacher to the school yard, where the picnic was held in a relaxed atmosphere, playing sports and enjoying music of  the Duo Košmerl – our student Mihael and his father.

Of course, there is no picnic without delicious meat and vegetable grill dishes and various baked goods, prepared by mothers and teachers. Pleasantly tired from football, dancing and socializing, we are full of beautiful impressions as it was time to go home.
